Hi Eric, it'll _have to be HRD, as Commander _only works with the 
Yaesus/made for the 817, but may also work with 857&897.
You'll need a programming cable, and although Icom makes one, it's designed 
to be used with several radios, sells for around a hundred dollars, and you 
can do much better price wise for a cable designed to work with one radio at 
a time.
if you want sirial look for the Radioshack Catalog Number 20-289
which is a scanner programming cable which will definitely work with the 
703, series, the 706 series, and possibly the 7000 series/maybe even others.
as discussed and used by several of us earlier on the blind hams list.which 
they were closing out at under five dollars, in may 2007. For a USB  cable, 
the cheapest by a long shot I've found, comes from Valley Enterprises, an 
Ebay Store./I bought one of their cables for the 817, for the same price as 
the one for the Icom, and it works as advertised.  I plan to get one of 
their Icom cables for my 706Original.  I'm sorry that I don't know the model 
number, but do a search at that store, the cable is the same one for 
programming the 706 series of radios, and sells via paypal for 19$s&Change 
Delivered, USA.
The C-IV number is different for each series of Icom Radios/but the same for 
each radio in that series.  You have to make sure the baud rate and civ 
settings are configured for the radio in question, both with a computer and 
with the Millenium QSYER.
By the way, I don't think that the Brit Keypad will work with the 703, 
although check your manual, I've never had my hands on one of the Brit 
Keypads.
HTH and enjoyed talking with you..
